Based on recent feedback, Snowman Recycling in Phoenix, AZ scores 83/100. Sentiment is largely positive: staff are professional, helpful, and fast; the yard is clean and well organized, with quick in-and-out and cash at the scales. Pricing feels strong for copper and fair for many metals, but complaints focus on low payouts for cans/steel, a case of clean copper paid as #2, and a few policy or timing frustrations (lunch closure, check to employer). Some reviews conflict on whether cans are accepted. No clear insight on parts inventory.
Our company Armstrong Service Electric has been coming here for years, the employees are friendly and very helpful. They always make sure to keep up with the states pricing per Lbs.
This spot is great super easy to find the guys were very helpful getting my truck unloaded and paid me right at the scales will definitely be bringing all my scrap here from now on
Well that was quick and easy. First time scrapper here. I didn’t know what to expect when I pulled up. I didn’t have to wait, everyone who approached spoke and were very helpful. Thanks Snowman for making my experience a pleasant one.
Well organized yard, cleaned with a sweeper attachment on the skid steer to prevent tire damage, and top dollar for metal and copper. Zero complaints from me!
Cleanest (in my opinion) recycle center. Staff was friendly and very informative. Will be coming back here. Attached are pictures with additional information. :)
I had a really good experience here. And I'm a woman who has never recycled scrap metal before! I had a lot of siding removed from the house and it certainly makes more sense to recycle it, so I brought it here. For a scrap yard it's very well organized and the employees are kind and helpful. Definitely recommend.
Cool people here and very competitive pricing. Doesn't have that tweaker vibe like some of the other scrap places. I'd compare it to the small business mom and pop style shops.
Great place for plumbers to take their scrap. The forklift driver who rolls out the bins, helped me load and determine some undecided metal. Even made sure I got the correct price for my brass/dirty faucet brass. Staff is top notch.
Brought in 700+ dollars worth of scrap metal. Because i was in a company truck, the staff refused to right check out to my self and instead made check out to my employer. Therefore i was required to turn check into employer and receieved nothing for the metal i worked very hard to retrieve. Never coming here again and will be spreading the word
Very busy place to recycle , staff was very professional and glad to have your business. Employees all speak english and work hard to get you in and out and paid in cash! Highly recommend / great central location in town
Hauled ass to get over there before they closed for lunch and was there 7 min before 11 am and they were closing the gate on me for lunch and would not be opening it till 1130. That's bull trap. I had other things I needed to be doing real incoviece. So be early
I have to say I work my ass off for everything I do this place is a total rip-off the going price is $0.06 per pound for steel they paid me to I took steel yesterday to the scrap yard in Phoenix at for 320 lb made $20 they paid me $8 for 320 lb the same amount I wouldn't take anything to these people they suck suck
Snowman is a very great reliable scrap yard. If you think they suck it is because your a dumb@$$. They are always very fair and honest. I say the best in the area by far!
Used a few times selling some scrap. Went in as a complete new B. During the first visit, I was explained how the scrap recycling works. Talked about prices and how they fluctuate. Very cordial and smart people. Did not have to explain the process to me. I have since been back 3 more times.
I took 65 pounds of clean copper pipe no solder at all to snowman and was paid #2 price . 5 cents a pound for steel and 5 cents a pound for ac compressors . had to ask for receipt.
